We stayed two nights here celebrating a friends birthday at a local hall. The pub has been recently done up and under new management. Staff are lovely.
The rooms are average (it seems they are almost finished but not quite and could do with some finishing touches) - there was a minor problem with the heating so we were moved...

We went here by recommendation of family, were pleasantly surprised at the changes made to the pub. There is a big outside area for the summer and the dinning area seemed to be laid out professionally. The food was good, the staff seemed friendly. Would pop in again if passing by.

We stayed for three nights in a double room which was spacious and clean. It was clear that some expenditure has gone into updating the room but there is still a way to go before the standards are of an acceptable level. There are no bedside lights and no nets or curtains at some windows including the en suite bathroom....

We had an overnight stay here & had a comfortable sleep. The room was adequate with spotlessly clean bed linen & towels, & tea & coffee facilities. The ensuite bathroom was very small, but adequate. The door to the cupboard under the basin kept falling off & a hook on the door would have been useful as space was so...

The Sparkford Inn is a great place to eat. The inn now has new owners and if I'm honest its about time. It now looks lighter and bigger than it did on our last visit, that was about 5yrs ago. The food back then was obviously cooked from frozen. The meal we had last night was not only extremely tasty...

Room was small but very clean. Tea/coffee facilities. Nice comfortable bed. No double glazing so traffic noise was a bit of a problem. Could have done with two chairs in room instead if one. To be fair the new management haven't had a chance to furnish the rooms fully yet. Breakfast was excellent! Not bad value, but breakfast was not...

We stopped for one night. The room was tired and the toilet had a pump system which was noisy.
The evening meal was disappointing and service very amateur. I heard the manager say they had only been there for about 9 weeks so hopefully progress will be made
